Print: Le Blond Prints LB 70 & 71 - FOUR prints (all different) by Le Blond of the Great Exhibition building after it was moved to Sydenham, South London. The area was subsequently named 'Crystal Palace'.

Le Blond produced 2 different views, CL’s 70 and 71. They were printed in duplicate on the same printing plate, so 2 of each print. Only recently I discovered that each version of these prints is in fact slightly different. So what we have here are 2 different versions of each print on a reconstruction of the original sheet as it would have come off the printing press. Differences include people missing and extra trees.
